ANOTHER EASY RECIPE

Roasted Cornish Hens and Grapes (or you can substitute bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  On a rimmed baking sheet, toss 1 1/2 lbs of mixed red and green seedless grapes with 8 shallots or small onions.  Add 6 sprigs of thyme, stem and all, pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil all over with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper.  Mix with your hands.  Use 4 cornish hens, or 4 chicken breasts.  Tie the legs together if you are using hens.  Nestle hens or breasts in the grape mixture.  Utilize olive oil on the bottom of the pan to also oil the hens or breasts.  Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, and some additional thyme leaves.  Roast, basting poultry occasionally with pan juices, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the leg or breast registers 160 degrees....about 40 minutes.  Yum......
